With Node.js v18 approaching End-of-Life on 2025-04-30, the minimum
supported versions for development have been updated to `^20.11.1 || ^22.11.0`.
This change does not affect published packages.
The custom ESM loader was disabled in several Node.js jasmine tests due
to incompatibilities with the updated custom loader API in newer Node.js
versions. The API in v18 was not considered stable. The rules_js migration
will remove the need for this loader fully in future.

This change aligns with the supported Node.js versions of the Angular CLI.
See: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/24026

As node 16 is now active LTS, updating to node 16 is a better choice for our own development. Notably its
support for M1 chips is an important value add for us.

With this change we update Node.js version to 14.17 which is needed because of Eslint 8. Also, we replace the legacy images `circleci/node` with the new images `cimg/node`.

Upgrade local development environment for the angular repo to use node 14
dropping node 10 from supported for development within the angular repo.
PR Close#41544
This is just a maintenance upgrade to keep us close to the latest release.
No known bugs are being fixed by this upgrade.
I also removed the npm override in .travis.yaml since node 4 ships with a recent version of npm
and usually this version is preferred (it might contain custom patches).
Closes#4939
The node version was updated in DEVELOPER.md due to #4527,
but nvm still uses v0.12 if not specified otherwise.
Update .nvmrc file to v4.2, which is the last node version.
Closes#4894
The .nvmrc file is used by nvm if you don't specify a version. This lets us type Found '/Users/alexeagle/Projects/angular/.nvmrc' with version <0.12>
Now using node v0.12.2. It doesn't check that you are using the node version from the file, however, so this won't prevent version skew.
